Johnson (6-foot, 209) signed with Miami as a four-star recruit but wound up at UCF, where he spent two seasons. He finished college with 1,765 yards and 19 touchdowns on 335 carries (5.27 YPC), adding 41 receptions. Johnson's Combine measurables were average (4.60 forty, 35 1/2" vertical, 9-foot-10 broad jump), but his vision, feet and aggressive running style stand out on tape. Johnson has tight hips, fumbled eight times in college and has a long way to go in pass protection, but it's not out of the question that he'll become a contributor. Sat, May 10, 2014 05:50:00 PM

UCF's Storm Johnson pulled his left hamstring during his pro day workout.

It is a disappointing outcome for Storm Johnson, who was hoping to improve off of the 4.60 forty from the NFL Combine and catch passes from Blake Bortles, something he did quite well during his time at UCF. Johnson's vision and anticipation in open space is very good for a bigger back. Wed, Mar 19, 2014 02:36:00 PM

"Love Storm's agility/burst combo but must improve discipline as an inside runner," Weidl tweeted. "Too much east/west on tape." Our own Josh Norris loved Johnson's vision and anticipation once hitting the second level, allowing him to find more open space. It is a unique trait for a running back of his size.

UCF RB Storm Johnson should be selected in the third- or fourth-round, according to former NFL exec Greg Gabriel.

"Johnson has a lot of talent. He just doesn’t have great top-end speed," Gabriel writes. "He will become a steady NFL running back, and I look for him to be an eventual starter in the league." We were surprised by Johnson's excellent vision and open field anticipation when watching him. That is difficult to find in a bigger back. Mon, Feb 3, 2014 01:58:00 PM
